The Costanera Norte runs beside the Río de la Plata from Recoleta through Palermo to the Ciudad Universitaria, the only avenue in the city on the river. With no buildings to block the sun, it is the place to run, cycle or fly a kite; the Parque de los Niños has sandpits, playgrounds and picnic tables. Eat at the carritos, the riverside food carts, for choripán and bondiola sandwiches, and watch the planes come in to Aeroparque.
